  Call me crazy, but the toning looks suspect to me.
  
  I saw a San Diego just like that once. Examined in hand, there was just something not quite right about it. Did not buy...

  Toning looks natural enough to be holdered. Very clean surfaces too. I'm sure in many minds it meets Monster proportions. But I don't find it all that attractive.

  I'll bet that toning is even nicer in person.
  
  I like it.

  nice colors, but it just looks 'flat' to me...... no luster.
  
  
  I'd be happy to own it tho

  I think it is quite attractive. It's a little too expensive for me, but I like it anyway.

  That coin just doesn't do it for me. Lots of color, but no pizazz, no "sparkle".

  Is that the coin that was in the Anacs holder and no one else would grade
  as they called it AT. Bryan Sonnier and someone else finally convinced a
  company to grade it. I think Anaconda owned that coin, and offered to
  but it back at a large premium if it could be reholdered.

  Nope, that was a Roanoke.
  
  Anybody else notice that Legend uploaded a different image since RYK linked it? The new image has more pizazz.

  Artificially toned. As opposed to NT which is Naturally toned. It is getting harder to tell the difference these days. Though some have a knack for telling the difference.

  I'd love to own that coin ..........at about the $1000 range at most. Can't see moon money for pretty colors, rarity yes, colors, no.
